The wheat AMI oat crops are difficult to
estimate. 1t was not thought that any
thing would be made, snd, accordingly, q
great many farmers plowed up their crops

those who left their small grain standing
have been surprised with considerable
crop andIhave to save it with cradles main
ly, the threshers nothaTing expected to be
employed, being unprepared. The rapid
and sudden transition from desert to 3
garden in this country, has perhaps
taught many of our people lesson they
will not forget.
